Ah, my error. I checked and I am still on 23H2, so still awaiting 24H2.

Mine opens downwards.

At say 8 tons per wagon load, that's in the region of 10 wagons a day. Easily within the ability of a small tank.

I think this is just after the 1909 rebuild, and it looks like the 'side concourse' had unrestricted access, so I would assume all luggage arrivals and departures was made via this area. Maybe there are gates here, but not obvious in the pic. Before rebuilding, the layout was substantially the same.

Windsor was a large and posh station in its heyday. Unfortunately this shot doesn't show the doors of the Parcels Office, but there's plenty of luggage on show.

I don't know what Dapol is trying to do with 2831. There's no way it could be backfeed with the rest of those features.

On 2804, I would say the lubricator and blower pipe cover is on the wrong side. Offhand, I can't find a 28xx pic with the cover on the lhs. Also, for that earlier era, I'd be inclined to omit the rivets on the smokebox. Flush-riveted Standard No 1 boilers were still common into the mid-1930s. For a pre-1920 condition, the lubricator and blower-pipe cover was of the earlier form. But maybe Dapol has a picture.

Typo, Neal. Try this one: https://www.Dapol.co.uk/blogs/news/oo-gauge-gwr-2-8-0-28xx-update

I think that's a grounded body. The other grounded bodies in your pictures look to have elliptical roofs, so could be ex-LSWR stock.

Looks like one of the last batches of AA20s.

I'm inclined to say no glass. I don't think glass was applied to the interior doors to the cabs until the railcars arrived. See also here. W22W has no doors at the passenger vestibule.

I've always thought that Collett autocoach interior doors were single, and Churchward autocoach interior doors were double. That maybe is too simplistic!
